Tyreek Hill has made headlines since joining the Miami Dolphins this offseason, especially regarding his comments about new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The wide receiver first stated that the Miami quarterback is a better passer than his former teammate, Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes. The wideout then claimed that the 2022-23 season could be Tagovailoa’s last in the league.
NFL fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Dolphins receiver and his comments.

What has Tyreek Hill said about his new quarterback in Miami?
Tyreek Hill spoke about his new quarterback on his podcast, It Needed To Be Said. He claimed that many people would regret writing off the Miami signal caller.
“It’s gonna be a lot of people taking their words back on what they said about [Tua].”
Hill's co-host, Julius Collins, tried to get the wideout to name names and Hill said:
“Reporters, analysts, Twitter trolls. All those people are gonna take their words back on what they said about [Tua]. I’m gonna be sitting there, eating my popcorn.”
The Dolphins wideout also addressed a video of Tagovailoa misplacing a short pass, saying it was released to generate conversation.
“I really believe they showed that clip of Tua under throwing me just to get people talking. Because they really know what Tua’s capable of, for real.”
He then went on to touch upon the shelf life of a quarterback in the league and how the Dolphins are essentially placing Tagovailoa in a do-or-die situation.
“You know, in the NFL, they only give you like two or three years to be a successful quarterback, especially if you’re a first-round draft pick, and if you don’t succeed after those years, then it’s kick rocks, man. So, basically, they’re going to put Tua into that. So this is basically his last year, man, just to show people what he’s got.”
